maṣdarتأٌدِيَةٌ
Core sense — he made it reach; he delivered it; he paid itgenerated
2.1he delivered the thing committed to his trust and care to its owner—الأَمَانَةَ إِلَى أهْلِهَا
Maṣdar تأٌدِيَةٌ and أَدَآءٌ, or the second of these is a simple substantive. [The Msb makes the first one also, but this is a mistake.]
He made it reach, arrive, or come to the appointed person or place; he brought, conveyed, or delivered it. Synonymous with أَوْصَلَهُ, said of a thing.
He also gave it up, or surrendered it, and paid or discharged it — said of a debt, a bloodwit, a responsibility and the like; see art. غرم.
he acquitted himself of what was incumbent on him; he paid what he owed—أَدَّى مَا عَلَيْهِ
he performed the pilgrimage—الحَجَّ
See art. قضى.
he performed the religious rites and ceremonies of the pilgrimage—المَنَاسِكَ
deliver to me the children of Israel, servants of God—أَنْ أَدُّوا إلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللّٰهِ
Or, as some say, the meaning is أَدُّوا إِلَىَّ مَا أَمَرَكُمُ ٱللّٰهُ بِهِ يَا عِبَادَٱللّٰهِ, perform to me what God has commanded you to do, servants of God. Or it may mean: listen to me, give ear to me, as though the speaker said أَدُّوا إِلَىَّ سَمْعَكُمْ, the verb being used in this sense by the Arabs.
I paid him his due, or right—تأَدَّيْتُ لَهُ مِنْ حَقِّهِ
One also says إلَيْهِ in place of لَهُ, meaning أَدَّيْتُهُ.
I do not know how to pay—مَا أَدْرِى كَيْفَ أَتَأَدَّى
he paid, or made satisfaction, for him—أدّى عَنْهُ
he paid the land-tax for him, or in his stead—أدّى عَنْهُ الخَرَاجَ
See art. جزأ.
on this sense El-Akhnas says: [But I have put away from me what I had taken on of the foolishness of youth and amorous dalliance, and now there is at my home a keeper and collector for the camels, cattle, or property]
shāhidفَأَدَّيْتُ عَنِّى مَا ٱسْتَعَرتُ مِنَ الصِّبَاوَ لِلْمَالِ عِنْدِىِ اليَوْمَ رَاعٍ وَ كَاسِبُ
Lane cites “Jel in ii. 196” — a commentary, not the verse; no modern number is given
2.1.1it brought, conducted, or led to such a thing or state—أَدَّى إِلى كَذَا
A phrase often used in this way; for instance, of crime leading to punishment or to disgrace.

, (T, S, M, &c.,) inf. n. تأٌدِيَةٌ (T, S, K) and أَدَآءٌ , (T,) or the latter is a simple subst., (S, M, Msb, K,) [and so, accord. to the Msb, is the former also, but this is a mistake,] He made it, or caused it, to reach, arrive, or come [to the appointed person or place &c.]; he brought, conveyed, or delivered, it; syn. أَوْصَلَهُ ; (M, Msb, K;) namely, a thing; (M;) as, for instance, الأَمَانَةَ إِلَى أهْلِهَا [the thing committed to his trust and care, to its owner]: (Msb:) he delivered it, gave it up, or surrendered it: (T:) he payed it, or discharged it; (S, K;) namely, his debt, (S,) a bloodwit, a responsibility, and the like; (Msb in art. غرم ;) [and hence,] أَدَّى مَا عَلَيْهِ [he acquitted himself of that which was incumbent on him; or payed, or discharged, what he owed]: (T:) he performed, fulfilled, or accomplished, it; namely, [for instance,] الحَجَّ [the pilgrimage]; (Msb in art. قضى ;) and in like manner, المَنَاسِكَ [the religious rites and ceremonies of the pilgrimage]. (Jel in ii. 196, and Msb ubi suprà.) It is said in the Kur [xliv. 17], أَنْ أَدُّوا إلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللّٰهِ , meaning Deliver ye to me [the servants of God,] the children of Israel: or, as some say, the meaning is, أَدُّوا إِلَىَّ مَا أَمَرَكُمُ ٱللّٰهُ بِهِ يَا عِبَادَٱللّٰهِ [perform ye to me that which God hath commanded you to do, O servants of God]: or it may mean listen ye, or give ye ear, to me; as though the speaker said, أَدُّوا إِلَىَّ سَمْعَكُمْ ; the verb being used in this sense by the Arabs. (T.) And one says, تأَدَّيْتُ لَهُ مِنْ حَقِّهِ , (K, TA,) and إلَيْهِ , in the place of لَهُ , meaning أَدَّيْتُهُ ; (TA;) i. e. I payed him his due, or right. (K, TA.) And a man says, مَا أَدْرِى كَيْفَ أَتَأَدَّى [I know not how to pay]. (TA.) One says also, أدّى عَنْهُ [meaning He payed, or made satisfaction, for him]: and أدّى عَنْهُ الخَرَاجَ [He payed for him, or in his stead, the land-tax]. (Mgh in art. جزأ .) [Hence,] El-Akhnas says, 1 i. e. But I have put away from me [what I had borrowed, or assumed, of the folishness of youth, and amorous dalliance,] and now I am [or there is at my abode] a keeper and collector to the camels, or cattle, or property.
